West Scranton miners strike echoes through town
The West Scranton Tribune reports the miners convention at Hingleton announced a strike last evening. Mine workers gathered along Main and Jackson streets to discuss the move while engineers pump-runners and machinists voted against striking. Coal is being stranded between Diamond Shaft and the breaker as Oxford mine operators propose a three day work week to meet local demand. The strike disrupts merchants and may trigger further layoffs, though a social dance at Music Hall is expected to proceed.
